• Labor Union Resources

About Labor Union Resources -- "Labor unions have benefited greatly from the communications capabilities provided by the Internet: thousands of sites overflow with a wealth of information regarding news, issues and policies of labor unions both regional and global. I've collected some of these resources here, to serve as a starting point for those doing research on labor unions, looking for a specific group, or simply wanting to learn more about the state of unions today."

• UCubed | Union of Unemployed

Useful. Unique. Unified. -- "You lost your job. You're not alone. 31 million Americans face the same challenges. You want your job back. You want your life back. But you can't do it alone. Neither can anyone else. You all need each other. That's what UCubed is here to do: Help you and 31 million other unemployed Americans organize, work together and get back to work. Let UCubed help you connect. Form a cube, and multiply your political and economic power by 6. Then by 36. Eventually, by 31 million. Take Control."

UCubed is a "community service project" of the International Association of Machinists (IAMAW), a union "active in more than 200 industries."

Portent Interactive ("An internet marketing company.") is UCubed's web site provider.
